Make it happen

Business and community leaders across the Frankston region are presently being invited to join an organisation that will advocate to all levels of government for a better deal for the Greater Frankston region. Modelled on the highly successful Committees for Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, and Gippsland, a Committee for Greater Frankston was launched in February 2017.

The concept is simple. With all levels of government tightening their budgets, those regions which put forward a well-reasoned, well-researched case are much more likely to attract government support than those that are not. As a consequence, a group of concerned business and community leaders from our region has taken action to set up the Committee for Greater Frankston (C4GF). It is a visionary think-tank that is independent of political party politics.

The C4GF will concentrate on the Greater Frankston region — Carrum Downs, Seaford, Langwarrin, Somerville, Mt Eliza — as well as the Frankston City Centre. It is attracting members who know that the Greater Frankston region has huge potential, and want to see that potential realised. Its aim is to develop strategies for greater investment, more jobs, improved transport, and better health and education outcomes — and those businesses in it — to achieve the progress they deserve.
